SAMH is recognised as the largest charitable organisation in Scotland in mental health services providing accommodation, support, information, training,
employment, and day services. The organisation has expanded its services to work with those experiencing substance misuse and homelessness.

SAMH commissioned an independent evaluation of its adoption of a strategic recovery approach into the organisation, its ethos, services and partnerships. The evaluation assesses how the formation of the recovery team has impacted on SAMH changing to a recovery focussed organisation.
